Betaine

Description

Betaine is a dietary supplement that supports your digestive health and nutrient absorption. Betaine contains 500 mg of betaine hydrochloride (HCl), a natural compound that helps your stomach produce enough acid to break down food and release essential nutrients. As we age, our stomach acid levels decline, which can impair our digestion and lead to nutrient deficiencies, especially in protein and calcium. This can affect our bone health and immune system. Betaine helps restore optimal stomach acidity and enhance the absorption of protein, calcium, iron, vitamin B12, and other vital nutrients. Betaine also helps lower homocysteine levels, a marker of inflammation and cardiovascular risk. By taking betaine, you can improve your digestive function, boost your nutrient intake, and protect your heart health. Take one capsule of betaine with each meal or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.
